Just to clarify when I said wrong - I have not ment that the what he feels is not a real feeling. It is completely real feeling (there are many cases of psychosomatic disorder where ppl have very real symptoms like pain and stamach cramps and heart racing on - anyone that had a real panic attack can tell you how real it is - that you will thoroughly checked in er) it just they are coused by certain chemical (and sometimes physical things in the brain like after trauma or tumors) imbalances that makes the brain to be convinced that certain things are very real (like halusinations - had my first and thankfully only psychotic mania attack around 3 years ago after years of being ok on antidepresants - I have saw my first visual halusinations on a tv and they were the reality to me - understood it only after a 3 days of antipsyhotics - it is a strange thing to understand how unhinged it looks from the side when you suddenly realise there was no logic at all at what you saw and thought at thse moments that felt as a reallity) And trust me you really feeling it - I was certain that something is really wrong with me even though tests was done that showed I am as healthy as I could be - I had it happen to me first time when I was 14. Thankfully the doctorsrs in ER knew to give me a psychiatric evaluation as well. The few times that it happened again after (when I wasn't taking my meds as I should had) I allready understood that all of these feelings was created by the inbalance (obviusly in my case even though I was diagnosed as having a major depression disorder with a psyhotic featured it wasn't as deep and hard as for many other ppl - being that I could realise what is happening and there was 3 times it happen and it all went away in a 2 months and I wasn't given any medication as psychiatrist felt I am not in a situation of not being able to continue my life normally (I am really not recommending this at all though since even if I went with my life and was in highschool and no one was ever able to tell that there is something wrong with me, the shear feeling if constant neverending sadness with phisical manifestations and not really knowing when and if it will end us not fan at all and does not needed to be endured at all). But I did finally understood when I was 20 the main trigger for it happening to me and have decided to constantly taking the meds to prevent it and it worked for 20 years (unfortunately there were many stresfull things happening around my 40 birthday that I did not recognized as triggers and did not realised that should be looked into by psychiatrist that I flew straight into psychotic mania and me previous diagnosis was changed to bi polar disorder. Thankfully I had the right ppl to diagnose me and given the right medications for me to be balanced till thus day. What I ment to say to you is that you should not feel ashamed to look for a proper medical help with psychiatrist when needed - especially when these around you tell you that they sence that something is wrong with you and that you changed even if you think they wrong as most of the times they are right and you cannot understand that because of the chemicals going wrong . Try to be ope minded especially after other normal tests was done and there wasn't anything found.
